IMPROVEM ENT IN CULTIVATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 57,719, dated September4, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JAcoB HOLLINGER, of Millersburg, in the county ofHolmes and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements inOulti'vators; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull andcomplete description of the construction and operation of the same,reference bein g had to the accompanying drawings, making part of thisspecification, in which- Figuie l is a side view, Fig. 2 is a top View,and Fig. 3 is a rear View.

Like letters refer to like parts in the several views.

A represents the main or central beam. This is made of wrought-iron, thebar being of the length and size suited to the size of thecultiVator--say iive feet long, two inches wide,

and three-quarters of an inch thick. A hole is made in the forward endfor the clevis, as at c, and the hind vend is turned into the form of aloop,for the purpose of securing the curved cross-bars B B, to which therear shovels are l attached. The inner ends of these bars are curvedinward and upward, and are provided with holes b b for a Wider ornarrower adjustment upon the bolt Z1'. The forward share, C,

is secured to the beam A by means of a screwclamp, which embraces boththe beams and standard C.

The curved bars B are supported at their outer curves by side braces, DD, the forward ends of which are bolted to the beam A at D', as shown atFigs. l and 2, and the rear ends of these braces are provided with aseries of holes, d d, for longitudinal adjustment.

The handles E E are bolted to the beam A just back of the standard O',and are each supported in the rear by braces F F. The braces D haveelasticity suicient' to allow of the expansion and contraction of therear share, B B.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

'lhe herein-described construction of culti Vaters, consisting of thebeam A, curved bars B B, braces D, shares O B B', and handles E, theseveral parts being constructed, arranged, and operating as and for thepurpose set forth.
